Yeap. it will be better as time goes by. My new New Balance MR1063 was also giving problems initially.

Gotta burn in

Hi all,

FYI;

Event: The 5th Pacemaker Anniversary Run
Date: 30.08.09
Time: 7.30am
Venue: Lake Gardens

More information? -> here

Darn... i won't be around for the Anniversary Run...

Going to travel.....

SpaceBeast: The Kayano 15 isn't like Saucony shoes which are on the softer side and thus requires a run in. A 50K to 100K will be idle. Since you mention tightness, did you get the correct size and did you lace it up properly as the lacing system on the Kayano 15 is different from conventional running shoes?

And as ccube was saying, no one shoe is perfect. You can give me a super mumbo shoe that is worth RM1,000 but in the end, I end up with a shoe that costs only RM300. It's a personal feel for everyone here as we all are unique and have different foot and running gait. And while there are a few shoes testers at RunnersWorld, they mainly uses machine to test and torture the shoes.

Finally, do post your feedbacks on the Kayano 15 here. I will try to help you as much as I can as I personally own it and have no problems with it thus far. And am writing a review on it.

Anyone up for Seremban half dis sun?

OT; @phoenix
bk frm reclusion? haha

The last time I went there, Brooks the Curve was undergoing some renovation, so the store was in a mess. Maybe now settle edi...

Yeah i got the correct size, i always go for 1 size bigger than my normal shoe size. Not sure about the lacing but i dont like to keep my shoes tight, is this ok on the long run? So i need to go 50 or 100km to get comfortable with it?

hey fellow Runnerz!!! still havent sure if my friend had sent the cheque for the Adidas KOTR but i hope that she did, cant wait for the run worse case have to sign up in Gardens since the closing date is 24th July

and SpaceBeast for your question, most of the Asics are stiff at first (well from what ive worn) ive had 4 different pair of Asics from the Kayano, GT Series i struggled to even complete 10k when they were new, it took me about 50k to 60km to break them in..it needs to mould according to your feet...once it does pure heaven run more in them run longer then you'll know the effects

EDIT: I had the same issues with the lacing...my right was tighter than the left then i found out it was to do with my socks..changed it and re-laced back the shoes, i always re-lace my shoes it worked though still had issues but not too big i got used to it...

d3vilzzzz: Was never gone. Just hiding.

SpaceBeast: Keep the lace slightly loose on the lower part of the foot so that your metatarsals and tarsal have room to move around. Tighten the lace as it moves up. Yes, the Kayano 15 is designed for long runs. If all else fails, it might just be that the shoe isn't for you. Did you check your foot type before purchasing it? The Kayano series falls under the stability category. On another note, I normally wear my new shoes with socks and walk around in the house for a couple of weeks first before taking them out to run. This gives my foot time to slowly adjust to it.

I guess ill do a few miles of walk before actually running in it, thx for the tips, hopes it works out well, otherwise ill have to sell it or probrably trade it... is it possible to get a refund from asics if it doesnt work out well for your feet?

I've never sent my shoes back to the shop for a refund so really dont know if its possible though it think its not...what your foot size btw?

No shoes are refundable be it ASCIS, Nike, adidas, New Balance and others.

I'm selling my Siemens Run bib!

shoes are not refundable in MY unlike in USA where u can send the shoe back if u r not satisfied with it. in MY, consumers had not rights to return, too bad.

exchange policies here sucks...thats y i dunno wat to do with the mizuno i got. urgh~!
trying to sell it off here oso like no one wants it....

Bro,

I had experience refunding the shoes that i bought at Adidas Malaysia. The allowed me to get new pair of shoes because of the defects usually not more than 6 months. I changed twice once at KL Sentral for my soccer boots ( no more at Kl Sentral nowdays) and for my sports shoes at SACC in shah alam.

But if u buy the shoes from reseller i.e Al-ikhsan, RSH i dun think they will give u a refund.

There aren't many runnerz here... so ur shoes may nt hv been marketed properly try emailing him he helps runners sell their stuff...

o btw hv u advertised in the "garage sales" section here or even "stuff for the ladies" section here?

Im 10 but i wear 11.

nice... 11...let me know if u still cant get used to the shoes....i dont mind getting it off you provided the price is right

grinchest: adidas used to have a wear and test program. They don't now. However, if they still practice the exchange policy now, I am in no position to compete with them. Like ccube, we are together selling our products at lower price compared to retail yet still offering off the shelf quality. And we will always advice our customers to fully test our products before purchase. We have our principles in keeping our customers happy.
